ALEC Annoyed at Losing Sponsors? It Breaks My Heart

I was happy to see the right-wing American Legislative Exchange Council
(ALEC) release a half-defiant, half-pathetic statement bemoaning the
"coordinated and well-funded intimidation campaign against corporate
members of the organization."
.
After about the third reference to "job creators," it's hard to miss that
this is an operation nestled snugly within the depths of the far-right
echo chamber, never passing over a chance to frame tax cuts for the top 1
percent as a moderate, bipartisan path to common bliss. In fact, far from
sticking to promoting "improved dialogue," ALEC has (with troubling
effectiveness) advanced a slew of reactionary measures in statehouses
throughout the country. Stand Your Ground? Check. Prison privatization?
Check. Right to Work? Check. Discriminatory Voter ID laws? Check. The list
goes on and on.
.
These legislative outrages have inspired a coalition of progressive groups
to fight back. They are going after the companies that are paying $25,000
annual dues to this far-right outfit -- exposing these brand-sensitive
patrons for aligning themselves with the conservative fringe.
.
The tactic is proving very effective. On Wednesday, fast-food giant
Wendy's joined McDonald's in ending its ALEC membership. Previously Pepsi,
Coke, Kraft, Intuit, and the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation all announced
that they were jumping ship.
